REVLON PHOTOREADY HAUL

I almost missed the BOGO free Revlon sale at CVS for the past week... **gasp** I dunno why I always always wait last minute to do everything... maybe coz I believe in fate so much, the 'if-it-doesn't-happen-it's-not-meant-to-happen' principle... so last night, after taking the kids to Yogurt Creations, the manfriend took me to CVS on the South side of town... walked in the store with a mission, to look for the PhotoReady foundation ONLY... nothing!!! there must've been 3 bottles left, in a darker shade though... I was still calm at this point.... "there's 3 CVS stores in town, I still have hope", I reassuringly thought to myself... it must've been around 8:45ish when I went to the first one coz when we got to the CVS right by my house it was already closed... still calm, still positive, coz if it's not meant blah blah blah... next is the last one on the North side... walked in the store, straight to the 'promotional/seasonal/new items' shelf... there are a few bottles left which are not my shade... at this point, I WAS FREAKIN' OUT!!! I really wanted to get me some Revlon PhotoReady foundation... I mean, haven't you heard about the whole craze on this?? 

without giving me any chance to bite my nails while pacing back & forth, a sales associate walked by, I asked him if there's any more... he gave me this excited-YEAH! (he must have seen like 50 girls freakin out over this this past week..) & lead me to the Revlon section of the aisle... he left, came back after a few seconds, he was gonna remind me of the sale, but before he was done talking, he saw that I was already holding two bottles... LOL.... anyways, thank G! there was still tons of them...

I got the 008 Golden Beige & 006 Medium Beige

I brought my Make Up For Ever HD (#123) foundation & MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NC30) for color comparison... & these two are the closest I can get... I will do another post with swatches & maybe a look using these foundies...
